Witnesses said that William Wesley Neall III had been acting erratically most of Thursday, banging on doors and yelling profanities in the 600 block of Belle Dora Court in Arnold, police said.

As an officer waited for backup outside Neall's home, he came out pointing a loaded Winchester 12-gauge shotgun at the cop. The officer drew his weapon and ordered Neall, 46, to put his gun down, which he did, according to police.

Prosecutors announced new indictments Monday of Baltimore jail staff, the same day a top corrections official testified in the federal corruption trial of eight inmates and corrections officers about the difficulty containing misconduct in the system.
